*Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Listening Meeting Workshops*

How can we turn challenges into opportunities to help inform policy
development?

The Oregon Department of Transportation is hosting a series of Listening
Meeting Workshops to hear from you on key policy issues that relate to
walking and biking in Oregon. At the workshops, we will ask specific
questions related to critical destinations, connectivity, and safety that
will help inform policy development for the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plan (OBPP). The workshop will include an introductory presentation of the
OBPP, highlight opportunities and challenges learned to date, and then
break into table discussions. Please plan to attend the full workshop.

*Project Background -* *What is the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan?*

*The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is a modal plan developed by the
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) adopted by the Oregon
Transportation Commission. Statewide transportation modal plans (e.g.
Highway, Rail and Public Transportation) and topic plans (e.g. Freight,
Transportation Options) further define and implement the goals, policies
and strategies of the Oregon Transportation Plan and help to guide the
development, investment and management of Oregon’s transportation system.
The most recent version of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was adopted in
1995. Since that time, the design portion has been extracted and updated.
An update of the policy elements is currently underway, and will include
the development of a vision for biking and walking in Oregon, a policy
structure for decision-making and other information to support biking and
walking in the context of the transportation system. It is anticipated that
the Plan will be developed over about two years. To assist in Plan
development, ODOT has formed a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and
Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) each comprised of key stakeholders
throughout the State. Please visit the website
for more
information.*
